Janus System Upgrade to Sateon

Contract Sum: UndisclosedClient: International BankLocation: City of London

Challenge

To upgrade the client’s existing Janus access control system in one building and then to supply and install a new access control system in a second building. The two systems needed to then run as one centralised system. During the upgrade process to clean up the system’s database and limit system downtimes during the changeover process.

Solution

Sateon Enterprise from Grosvenor Technology was chosen for the new complete access system as a natural upgrade path from the Janus access control system which had served the client well in the past. One of the major advantages being Sateon is fully browser based providing ease of access from anywhere on the client’s network, without the need for additional proprietary software being installed on any PCs. Also the new system would provide centralised control and monitoring of both the client’s buildings from one location.

End Result

With careful planning and initial database configuration carried out by our highly experienced engineering team, the new installation was completed first, followed by the trouble free changeover from Janus to Sateon Enterprise in the main building. The client now has a single solution for both sites which benefits from completely up to date system IP connected field hardware with browser based access for ease of use.
